Ask the guys that brought them in 10yrs ago, think they would tell you dear at any price due to Johnes!!

Average price of 31p per litre and production up 31% since 2005. Doesn't help the complaining ones arguments.

In the IFJ milk league table there's no one paying 31p. Where does agri land compile the figures from?

 

[nivilla1982]

It showed in December the Northern Ireland average farm gate price of milk (including
retrospective bonuses) was 31p/L, 2.21p/L higher than the same month in 2019.

However, the weighted average farm gate price of milk over the course of the year (from January to December 2020) was recorded as 27.01p/L, 0.2p/L lower than the same period in 2019.

From the agriland article

Selective interpretation of the article. December price is not representative of what happens the rest of the year.

It should be based on base price but. Basein it on base plus winter bonus and quality bonuses is not fair way of lookin at it as not every1 gets paid 31 ppl. Just makes the creamery look better.

Wife was complainin about the price of grocery shop the other day and i said its not right all these price hikes and as usual the farmer isnt gettin more money and she said yeah the butter is up quite a bit since covid started but the milk price were gettin isnt up as much accordingly. Must say i thought about it and made me a bit cross

Dairy farmers dont understand the simple principle of supply and demand, they're too ambitious, they simply want the cow to produce an ever increasing bigger bucket of milk and subsequently blame the dairy for a poor milk price. Less milk more money

31p = more meal.

 

[pappuller]

31p = more meal.

Which =more milk= 24p

If you mean golden as in iron infused, be sure to get it tested and the appropriate cleaning and filtration kit installed

Ahh dirty water. Drive ye mad

Included filtration in the quote? Brave on someone's behalf. 1 bore here is clean as a pin no filter, out the ground in the cow.
2 bores have got between 4 and 5 k worth of filters and the water is still not great.

I think water here is about 107p from memory, plus about £70 quid a year per meter standing charge.
